Actuate Management Console offers the capability to manage one or more Actuate e.Reporting Servers and Report Encyclopedias.

You can install Actuate Management Console on any supported Windows machine on your network.

Insert the Windows Server Ancillary Programs, Language (where Language is the Language Pack you want to deploy) CD 1 of 3 into the CD-ROM drive.
Navigate to the following directory:

Where:

language = the Siebel code for the Language Pack you installed; for example, enu for U.S. English.

Double-click Setup.exe.

Guidelines for the Actuate Management Console Installation

During the installation of the Actuate Management Console, note the following:

On the Setup Type screen, choose Typical.
On the Deployment Options screen, accept the default of using the Actuate HTTP service as the deployment option.

Using a different application server with the Actuate e.Reprting System is not supported.

On the same screen, accept the default to automatically configure the deployment choice to run this product.
When Next is clicked, you might see a Question dialog box stating that the Actuate HTTP service is not found in the location specified on the Deployment Options screen.

Click Yes to allow the setup to install the Actuate HTTP service in the previously specified location.

On the Actuate HTTP Service Information screen, you can accept the default, 8700, as the port number.

You may choose to designate a different port number. For more information, see Installing Actuate e.Reporting System manual on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

This is the port number that you will use to connect to when accessing the HTTP service.

On the Account Name screen, when specifying the account information to be used when running the Actuate HTTP service, type the same information used on the Specify Profiles screen of the Actuate e.Reporting Server installation (see Guidelines for the Actuate e.Reporting Server Installation).
On the Server Configuration screen, accept the Host name and port number defaults for the Process Management Daemon and e.Reporting Server Configuration.

You may choose to designate a different port number. For more information, see Installing Actuate e.Reporting System manual on the Siebel eBusiness Third-Party Bookshelf under Actuate.

On the Volume Name screen, accept the default volume name as displayed.

The defaulted volume name is the host name of the machine that hosts the Actuate e.Reporting Server.

After the Actuate Management Console is installed, you should confirm that the installation was successful.
